Question

Just putting together this site and would like the menu item with a dropdown to stay highlighted in white when you are hovering over the dropdown menu items. http://dl.dropbox.com/u/7086475/Paul%20Day/index.html

Answer 1

Instead of using the #nav a:hover selector you can use #nav li:hover instead.

The li will remain in the hover state while you're in the submenu unlike the anchor.

It won't work in IE6 since the hover pseudo class only works on anchors.

#nav li:hover{
 color: #fff;
}
